A former tile factory, Camp des Milles opened in September one thousand nine hundred thirty nine as a French internment and deportation camp during World War II. Inbetween one thousand nine hundred thirty nine and 1942, thousands of political dissidents, emigrants and Jews were held as prisoners with many being sent on to extermination camps. Today, this site has been restored and reopened as a Holocaust memorial. Inwards, a large museum offers educational and interactive displays on the history of Camp des Milles. One feature that distinguishes this internment camp from others is the number of artists and scholars who were held here. It’s estimated more than four hundred chunks of artwork and literature were created at Camp des Milles and several drawings, paintings and graffiti can still be seen on the walls today. An example is the Room of Murals, a separate building that was once a dining room for guards, which is packed with colorful scenes created by the imprisoned.
Many of the exhibits are in French and while some suggest written English translations, latest visitors were disappointed more visual and audio aspects of the museum aren’t available in English. But what the museum may lack in language diversity, it makes up for with its detailed visual storytelling and historical artifacts — visitors say it’s a sobering yet informative practice. “It is worth a visit as a reminder of a darker time in the region’s and Europe’s history,” said one TripAdvisor user.
Camp des Milles is located about five miles southwest of the city center and open daily from ten a.m. to seven p.m. Admission is €9.50 EUR (about $13 USD). You can reach the memorial site by taking the Ligne four bus from the Aix city center’s Rotonde stop to Gare des Milles, or via car it’s about a fifteen minute rail.
